How to save a JS Var to a field

Hi Matt. It sounds like you may be able to use the updateRow API for this:

https://docs.skuid.com/latest/en/skuid/api/skuid_model_model.html#skuid.model.Model.updateRow

I would recommend reading through this document top to bottom for a great introduction on using Javascript with Skuid:
https://docs.skuid.com/latest/en/skuid/javascript/skuid-javascript.html#updating-a-row

I’ve linked to the part of the document that mentions the updateRow API so you can see an example.

One common pattern in Skuid Pages is to have a Ui-Only Model called “Vars” or “PageVars”, which has a single row in it (which gets created on page load using “Create default row if model has none”. Then you can save data to various fields in that Model from your code, e.g. like this:

navigator&#46;geolocation&#46;getCurrentPosition(function(position) {  <br /> var PageVars = skuid&#46;$M("PageVars");<br />  PageVars&#46;updateRow(PageVars&#46;getFirstRow(), { "Latitude": position&#46;coords&#46;latitude,``` "Longitude": position&#46;coords&#46;longitude });

continueSomeProcess();

});<br /><br />Then, anywhere in Skuid, you can grab the value of the Latitude / Longitude in the Action Framework, or using Merge Syntax, or you can display the Latitude / Longitude in a Field Editor --- whatever you want.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. 

I will be updating two fields on the model (which are fields on the SF object)… Latitude__c and Longitude__c.
The object / model is called “ThisWeeksRosters.”

I came up with the following but it still doesn’t seem to work…

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { var PageVars = skuid.$M("PageVars"); $.each(ThisWeekRostersModel.data,function(i,row){ ThisWeekRostersModel.updateRow(row,{ "Latitude": position.coords.latitude, "Longitude": position.coords.longitude }); continueSomeProcess(); ThisWeekRostersModel.save(); });

Your code is using “Latitude” and “Longitude”, but in your comment you say the fields are called “Latitude__c” and “Longitude__c”. Can you try that code again but use the api names of the fields?

Echo what Ben says — also i don’t see where “ThisWeekRostersModel” is defined.
